2 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN REVITALIZING A CHURCH

Challenged by “Lasting Impact“.

The world is changing…and so is the church.

For decades, the traditional, institutional-design of church has been the main-stay. Sunday Schools, Vacation Bible Schools, Prayer Meetings and a variety of committees have been focal points of weekly church-life.

Structure has been so important, for so many years.

Over the past decade, there’s been a shift happening. We’re hearing words like groups, gatherings and environments. The experience of church is becoming increasingly more important than the structure.

This often comes down to program and structure items. That committee we resurrect every year, struggling to find members for because it has no real missional purpose. And yet, we’re all terrified to kill it!

Or perhaps, that ministry that hasn’t seen significant progress in years. We keep spinning our wheels with it…for some reason that no-one can identify. Again, we’re terrified to kill it and refocus our efforts.

Measuring success of a certain ministry should be a constant. Every Ministry Leader should be able to point to the mission and vision of their church, and easily state how and why their ministry aids that overall mission and vision.

There are many more questions to ask.

I really encourage you to visit LastingImpactBook.com and purchase Carey’s book. It will challenge your view of church. And it might even bring up some fears and insecurities that you didn’t know existed.

But it’s good for us.

I firmly believe that the thoughts and feelings, questions and ideas, that spring from Carey’s book, will have an incredible Kingdom impact.
